“Good Company Doughnuts and Cafe, expected to open by the end of 2024, will bring a new dining option to Pennsylvania Avenue

Good Company Doughnuts & Cafe, a veteran- and family-owned café known for handcrafted doughnuts, will open a publicly accessible location anticipated by year end at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center in Washington, D.C. Good Company Doughnuts & Cafe, known as GoCoDough, will operate a full-service café that will be open seven days a week, offering an extensive menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options.

Since opening last October, the Hopkins Bloomberg Center—located at 555 Pennsylvania Ave., in the heart of the nation’s capital—has been a bustling hub of academic activity while delivering a broad range of public programming, including high-impact policy speeches, engaging forums on artificial intelligence, and a regular cadence of free theater, dance, and musical performances. The Hopkins Bloomberg Center has also generated economic activity in downtown Washington and recently received the DC Chamber of Commerce’s 2024 Economic Impact Award for having a “significant impact on the economic vitality of the District of Columbia.”
